LATENCY REAL MATTERS
RESOURCE UTILIZATION
IMPERATIVE CODE

COMPLETABLE FUTURE
since JDK 8
Completable Future + java.util.Stream

24. CURRENT STATE AND CHALLENGES
NON-BLOCKING IO
LATENCY REAL MATTERS
RESOURCE UTILIZATION
REACTIVE CODE

25. REACTIVEX CRASH COURSE
Stream Abstraction
▸ Functional, declarative programming model
▸ Combine, transform, reduce sequences
▸ Focus on what, not how
Stream (JDK8)
▸ Efficiently process collections
▸ Pull based and usable only once
▸ For non latency or infinite
Reactive Library
▸ Stream(JDK8) like API
▸ Push based
▸ Latency sensitive and infinite seqs

26. FLUX<T>

27. MONO<T>

28. HOW TO WRITE NON BLOCKING
REACTIVE STREAMS
▸ Specification for non-blocking libs interoperability
▸ Collaborative effort: Netflix, Pivotal, RedHat, Twitter,
Lightbend
▸ JDK9 adoption java.util.concurrent.Flow
▸ Only 4 Interfaces

29. ONLY 4 INTERFACES

30. REACTIVE STREAMS
The core concern of Reactive Streams is handling backpressure.
In a nutshell, backpressure is a mechanism that permits a receiver to ask how
much data it wants to receive from the emitter. It allows:
▸ The receiver to start receiving data only when it is ready to
process it
▸ To control the inflight amount of data
▸ Efficient handling of slow emitter/fast receiver or fast
emitter/slow receiver use cases

32. SPRING 5
SPRING + REACTOR + RX = 🌞

34. REACTIVE STREAMS EVERYWHERE

35. REACTIVE STREAMS EVERYWHERE

36. UNDER THE HOOD
